Committee to Consider Situation in Bahrain, Cameroon, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Sierra Leone and Finland The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women will hold its fifty-seventh session at the Palais des Nations in Geneva from 10 to 28 February 2014 during which it will review reports presented by Bahrain, Cameroon, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Sierra Leone and Finland on how they implement the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. States parties to the Convention commit themselves to ending all political, economic, social, cultural, civil or other forms of discrimination against women. The Committee, a 23-person expert body, monitors compliance with the treaty. It assesses to what extent each State party is meeting its obligations, and makes recommendations for the implementation of the Convention.At the opening meeting on Monday, 10 February, the Committee will adopt its agenda. The Chairperson of the Committee, Nicole Ameline, will brief the Committee on activities and events occurring since the previous session that had a bearing on the work of the Committee.In addition to considering the reports of seven States parties, the Committee will hold public informal meetings with non-governmental organizations and national human rights institutions to discuss the situation in the countries whose reports will be considered. It will also consider individual complaints as well as inquiries under the Optional Protocol to the Convention, in closed meeting. The Committee will discuss matters relating to follow-up to concluding observations and its methods of work. Qatar is presenting its initial report (CEDAW/C/QAT/1).Bahrain is presenting its third periodic report (CEDAW/C/BHR/3) and the Committee's concluding observations and recommendations on the combined initial and second periodic report of Bahrain, which was considered in 2008, can be found in (CEDAW/C/BHR/CO/2).Cameroon is presenting its combined fourth and fifth periodic report (CEDAW/C/CMR/4-5) and the Committee's concluding observations on the combined second and third period report of Cameroon, which was considered in 2009, can be found in (CEDAW/C/CMR/CO/3).Kazakhstan is presenting its combined third and fourth periodic report (CEDAW/C/KAZ/3-4) and the Committee's concluding observations and recommendations on the second periodic report of Kazakhstan, which was considered in 2007, can be found in (CEDAW/C/KAZ/CO/2). Iraq is presenting its combined fourth to sixth periodic report (CEDAW/C/IRQ/4-6), and the Committee's concluding observations and recommendations on the combined second and third periodic report, which was considered in 2000, can be found in (A/55/38 paras.166-210).Sierra Leone is presenting its sixth periodic report (CEDAW/C/SLE/6) and the Committee's concluding observations and recommendations on the combined initial to fifth periodic report, considered in 2007, can be found in (CEDAW/C/SLE/CO/5). Finland is presenting its seventh periodic report (CEDAW/C/FIN/7) and the Committee's concluding observations and recommendations on the combined fifth and sixth periodic report of Finland, considered in 2008, can be found in (CEDAW/C/FIN/CO/6).The reports that the Committee will review during the session as well as other documentation can be found on the webpage of the Committee. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against WomenThe Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 18 December 1979, and entered into force on 3 September 1981. Often described as an international bill of rights for women, the Convention both defines discrimination against women and sets an agenda for national action to end such discrimination. Since its entry into force, the Convention has achieved near-universal acceptance, with 187 States parties.The Convention defines discrimination against women as "... any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field". By accepting the Convention, States parties commit themselves to undertake a series of measures to end discrimination against women in all forms, including: incorporating the principle of equality of men and women in their legal system; abolishing all discriminatory laws and adopting appropriate ones prohibiting discrimination against women; establishing public institutions to ensure the effective protection of women against discrimination; and ensuring elimination of all acts of discrimination against women by persons, organizations or enterprises.Optional Protocol to the ConventionOn 22 December 2000, the Optional Protocol to the Convention entered into force, by which States parties recognize the competence of the Committee to receive and consider communications submitted by individuals or groups of individuals claiming to be victims of a violation of their rights under the Convention. To date, 104 of the Convention's 187 States parties have accepted the Optional Protocol. Before the Committee will consider a complaint, it first must establish its admissibility under the terms of the Optional Protocol. The Optional Protocol also enables the Committee, upon the fulfilment of certain criteria, to undertake inquiries into possible grave or systematic violations of women's rights. MembershipThe Committee is made up of 23 experts of high moral standing and recognized competence in the field of women's rights. Members are nominated and elected by the States parties and serve in their personal capacity. The Committee Members are: Ayse Feride Acar (Turkey); Noor Al-Jehani (Qatar); Nicole Ameline (France); Barbara Evelyn Bailey (Jamaica); Olindia Bareiro-Bobadilla (Paraguay); Meriem Belmihoub-Zerdani (Algeria); Niklas Bruun (Finland); Naela Mohamed Gabr (Egypt); Hilary Gbedemah (Ghana); Nahla Haidar (Lebanon); Ruth Halperin-Kaddari (Israel); Yoko Hayashi (Japan); Ismat Jahan (Bangladesh); Dalia Leinarte (Lithuania); Violeta Neubauer (Slovenia); Theodora Oby Nwankwo (Nigeria); Pramila Patten (Mauritius); Silvia Pimentel (Brazil); Maria Helena Lopes de Jesus Pires (Timor-Leste); Biancamaria Pomeranzi (Italy); Patricia Schulz (Switzerland); Dubravka Šimonović (Croatia) and Xiaoqiao Zou (China). Ms. Ameline is the Chairperson. The Vice-Chairpersons are Ms. Jahan, Ms. Neubauer and Ms. Patten, and the Rapporteur is Ms. Bailey.

Many universities have Early Entry Schemes where you can be offered a place before the normal round of offers.
|The way these operate can vary from university to university, but generally they will involve you completing an application and being able to demonstrate that you are capable of succeeding in your chosen course and also that you are a good all round student who will contribute well to the life of the university you have chosen to apply for.
These have strict deadlines and cutoff times so you need to be very aware of these. As I am notified of these (as well as specific scholarships) they will be advertised on the "Scholarships" page (closing dates included) - the link to this is in the "For Students" menu above.
The application process can sometimes involve gathering quite a bit of information so you will need to make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to get this completed.

How to enter:
Post the following information at this thread:
- Your/team name
- Entry name
- Entry description
- URL to download the game
How games are scored:
The judges will assign 1-10 to each game, in the following categories:
- This game was unique.
- I enjoyed playing this game.
- This game was presented professionally.
A score of 10 represents strong agreement with the statement, while a score of 1 conveys strong disagreement. These three scores are then added together to determine the game's overall score. The games with the three highest overall scores win.
Does the Contest have a theme?
No. However, the "U" in 3DU means unique. The judges will reward entries which distinguish themselves.
What do you mean by 3D?
Entrants must try and emulate what are considered "modern" 3D games. You should use 3D models and move objects around in 3D space. Billboards/Imposters are allowed, so long as the end result feels 3D and not 2D. Even games which are inherently 2D (such as Chess) can qualify if the game is rendered in 3D and feels 3D. Judges will be the final determinant of whether a game is 3D or not. If you are unsure whether your entry is 3D or not, post to our forum with screenshots or a description.
Is the use of Unity required?
No. However, iDevGames and the sponsor of the Contest, Over The Edge Entertainment, have teamed together to provide a unique opportunity; so go ahead and give (Unity) a try. You might be pleasantly surprised!
What development tools are allowed?
There are no limits to tools, SDKs, engines, etc. as long as the finished playable runs on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers.
Will requiring 3rd party APIs, such as SDL, count against the file size of my entry?
Yes, since any additional APIs which must be installed by the player for the game to function should be bundled in your archive.
Are multiplayer games allowed?
All games must include a single-player mode. Multiplayer mode is optional but must not be mandatory.
How many levels must I include in my entry?
The game must include enough content to properly demonstrate gameplay. Usually this can be shown by including at least one complete level.
Can I use game assets not created by myself or my team?
Yes. Games which infringe on the copyright of others or intellectual property (IP) in any form will suffer immediate disqualification.
Do you require the source code (project files) for my entry?
No, although it is encouraged. iDevGames supports educating the Mac game development community; we will host the code of any entrant who decides to release it.
Do you have a Contest logo for my website or playable?
3DU-Logo-HiRez.zip 266kB
Are the prizes transferable to a third-party?
If you already hold a valid Unity Pro or Indie license, you may transfer ownership of your prize. If you do not own a valid Unity Pro or Indie license then your Unity prize is non transferable. The ATI video card prize is transferable.
Are winners responsbile for shipping costs for the ATI video card?
No. Shipping costs will be paid by the sponsor, Over the Edge Entertainment.
Where can I ask more questions?
Use the contact form below to send them directly to iDevGames, or simply create a new post in the Contest message board.

Have a question?
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Troy - You can hit up our website for a Lightning mount to swap it.
Bryan - Yours shipped a few years ago. Send a note to firstname.lastname@example.com for tracking.
Troy Treanor on
I know that I'm super late to the game on this since Apple has switched out the charging ports a long time ago (in relative tech time that is), but what are my options for switching out the port on my dock to accommodate the new charging ports on the phones?
Thanks for the help!
Bryan Thatcher on
Will I ever see this product?
Edward Cruz on
@sholz, I just got my iPhone 6 in the mail and yes it will fit without a case.
Edward Cruz on
@Scholz, I just measured the inside dimension of the dock to be 2.75 inches, the iPhone 6 is 2.64 inches wide so it should fit. I'll confirm tomorrow when my iphone 6 arrives.
If you go to the elevationlab homepage it does list the iPhone 6 as compatible.
Sebastian Scholz on
iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 + . Which of both would fit into the Elevation Dock?
May by only the iPhone 6, or none?
Who has checked the case size of iPhone 6 regarding the Elevation Dock?
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Jeff -- That's great!
Dave - A quarter or half turn to tighten should solve that. If not, send us an email. Thx.
Dave Warren on
Hey Casey... I have a couple of those first-generation Lightning adapters, the cords slip constantly. What are my upgrade options to a new generation?
Jeffrey Ross II on
Great Product! I use mine everyday at my desk. The nano pad is the perfect solution for simple one handed removal from the dock. No complaints what-so-ever. Highly recommended.
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Brett -- Sure, stop on by. Give a heads up to firstname.lastname@example.com before you do to make sure we're here. Thx.
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Anthony - We guarantee the Lightning adapters to hold Apple's cords as if they were molded in. You can return it at our expense if it doesn't work for you.
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Tom -- Your Lightning cord should not budge in the dock, we'd happily replace it if it did. I would try tightening it first. Your adapter is the first design we made back in 2012 and they have gone through 2 design iterations since then - the current adapter is adjustable, has a ledge for the cord to sit on vertically, and dual symmetric bolts to tighten it very hard and safely.
@tomcoggia, thank you very much for the factual and well written comment regarding upgrading the original elevation dock to one with a lightning connector. I have two that have been sitting empty since we got our iphone 5s. I came here to the comments first to see what I could learn. I'm glad you decided to share your factual experience with the rest of us. As crazy as it sounds, the elevation docks are essentially non-recyclable from a original purchasers perspective.
docwestin on
Hi - I live in Portland and was one of the very early backers to the original Elevation Dock, I now have an iPhone 5S and would like to use it with the (older version) Elevation Dock. What are my options ? Can I just simply drive over to the Elevation headquarters and get the proper cable I need for using the dock with my iPhone 5S ? - Of course I expect to pay for what ever I need to upgrade it so that it is functional. Please call my work number 503.601.2099 or my work email firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank You,
Tom Coggia on
I have to add my disappointment in the lightning adapter "solution."
After threading my Apple lightning cable into the adapter plate (an additional cost, on top of the original dock), and *cramming* the cable into the dock in order to screw on the base plate (which doesn't support audio out - another additional cost no longer useful), then using the nanopad (another additional cost) to stick it to my desk so it doesn't act like every other dock you used to make fun of (note: if you superglue *any* dock to your desk, it will stay put when you lift your phone out of it)...
I have a block of aluminum that, basically, holds my lighting plug in a vertical position so I can balance my iphone 5s on it like a plate spinning on a stick in the circus. It wobbles side-to-side, front-to-back. The slightest touch to use the phone makes it jiggle around because the dock provides absolutely no support in any direction (but down). And worst of all, when I pull the phone out of the dock, 1/2 the time it pulls the lighting plug out of the dock with it.
I feel for you guys...you took a bit longer than expected to ship, and in the meantime Apple threw you a curveball and changed the port on the iPhone.
But rather than bilking your original backers for more money with half-baked "solutions" that don't really work, just accept that you have to start over. I'm not mad that I spent money on the dock and then Apple turned it into a non-functional aluminum desk sculpture. But I am mad that I spent more money on hacks to try and make it work and the result is exactly that: a total hack job.
Also, I didn't realize that the adapter only worked with Apple's lightning cable (or one shaped exactly like it - your site says it works with Apple's lightning cable...but it doesn't say it *only* works with Apple's lightning cable), so I bought a short black cable to replace the one that the dock shipped with - and that cable doesn't work. More money wasted.
I hate to say this...but if you have an original dock, and have recently upgraded to a newer iPhone, DO NOT waste any more money with Elevation's fixes to try and make it work. Cut your losses and move on. I'm not sure how well new docks work (or even the newer adapters)...but the original adapters for the original dock are utterly silly and useless. When (and if) you guys ever figure out how to make a dock that not only looks good but actually functions well, you should cut your original backers a deep, deep discount on it.
$79 original dock
$29 adapter and nanopad
$18 lightning cable
$126 paperweight
John Holton on
Got the NanoPad. It works great. Like, really great. Like, so great, I am unsure how to "unstick" it after applying without fear of damaging the pad or the surface it is stuck to. Any tips on safely detaching it from a surface?
Martin Cohn on
Don't want your sticky pad, tired of the excuses. Comments stand. Not a penny more. I'm done.
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Martin - Our NanoPads work better than a low-friction Lightning connector, better than even our original custom 30pin connectors. When engineering for the the best performance, the force down (gravity) should be at least 2x the force up (connector friction). Thats about what it is with our 30pin. With NanoPad and Lightning, the force difference can be 5-20x greater depending on how smooth the surface is - so your dock will not budge. We have prototype low-friction Lightning connectors if you really want one - they don't work as well as the one Apple engineered like we said in the update.
Martin Cohn on
Its sad how this great project failed to deliver on one of its biggest promises. Bought mine (4) back when I had my iPhone 4, worked like a dream. The iPhone 5 came out with the new Lightening adapter. Elevation Dock said no problem we will provide a temp connector bracket so you can use your Lightening connector until we make a zero force iPhone connector, then silence...crickets...broken promises...no communication....
Now they have a sticky pad for the bottom, and that is NOT the connector that they promised they would create for a permanent solution. Their design with the swappable connector was supposed to prevent obsoleteness, but nope didn't happen. I now have 4 half assed docks and no promised connector.
Other Kickstarter dock projects have. I have a dock with a zero force connector that shipped that way and delivered a hell of a lot faster than Elevation Dock. Until you make good on your promise for the zero force iPhone connector, I'm done spending another cent on any product/project you run.
Brent Sagnotti on
Any Black Friday deals going on this week? I need to order some iPhone5 adapters now that my phone has been upgraded!
Matthew Fitzsimmons on
Other companies are shipping Apple-certified lightning devices now. When can we expect to have a real iPhone 5/5s solution?
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Benny - Yours shipped last year. Send a note to email@example.com. Thx.
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Jeffrey - Your Dock was delievered on 8/17/12. Send us a note, firstname.lastname@example.com, if there was a problem.
Jeffrey Williams on
Where are my three docks!?
Jeffrey Williams
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Dimitriy - Yours shipped back in October. Nicole is sending you an email about it now. Thx
Dmitriy Borovikov on
I didn't receive my dock until now. What is going on? How can I track it?
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Rob - Thats great. A lot in store for the future.
Tobias - Thats not good, send a note to firstname.lastname@example.com and we can get you parts to swap.
Tobias Fiebiger on
So the power adaptor exploded in my face when I was using the lightning adaptor kit. Luckily nothing happened to me or my phone. The lightning cable now looks burned and I don't think I should use it or the docks anymore.
Rob Shepard on
Just wanted to chime in and say I am still very happy with my ElevationDock. Since i switched to the iPhone 5, i lost the easy-of-removal, but the dock still looks so damn nice compared to everything else.
I wonder if there is an easy way to Dremel the Lightning connector down just a hair to get reclaim some of the easy-to-remove functionality of the dock as originally intended.
Also, if Apple ever relaxes their guidelines for Lightning based connectors and devices, will ElevationLabs release updated Lighting inserts?
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Daniel - Thats really great to hear!
Kenny - Yours shipped 8/2/12. Best/fastest way to contact: email@example.com
Arnold - We'll do that next update, its around 45,000lbs of aluminum extruded here in Portland.
Kenny Wang on
I didn't receive my dock too. What is going on? How can I track it? it's been a long time.
Daniel Huber on
Still my favorite project backed, and I've backed some cool things. Love the future proofing with a swappable connection. The only problem is I find my phone lying face down on the nightstand in front of the dock many mornings... and my girlfriend's phone on the dock!!! Looks like I know what someone's getting for her birthday! ;) Thanks Casey.
Arnold A Sitorus on
So, who is the winner of the "guess how much will the aluminum be used?"
Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab 2-time creator on
Bob - Right on, thats great!
James - Thats cool.
Claissa - We've tried both your email adresses and haven't heard back, please send a note to email@example.com. Yours shipped back on 9/28/12.
Ricardo - A second dock was shipped to you in Columbia on 1/4/13. We have had some other problems shipping to your country too. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks! -Lisa
CLARISSA ZIMERMANN on
On January 13 I posted here a comment saying that I didn't receive my dock. You guys said that you'd email me about that but I haven't received anything... Can you guys please help me solving this issue?
Bob Thompson on
Just a note of thanks...I now own three of these - one from the KS campaign and two from the recent "seconds" sale. Two are for my 4S - one at home, one at work. The third is for my wife's 5 at home. We are very happy with the docks and get lots of compliments on them. Great work.
JAMES CROW on
Just to reiterate, Willis's fix works great and it's really easy.
I couldn't find my Dremel tool so I just used a file to shave both sides of the lightning connector until the notch on both side was gone and now my 2 Elevation Docks work just like they did with the iPhone 4. I'm not sure if Casey can endorse this fix or not but I don't fault him at all for problems with the new connectors. I backed his project to work with the iPhone 4 (which it did) and I thank him for coming up with a solution to make it work with the iPhone 5 before Apple made the new connectors available to him.
JAMES CROW on
Thanks for the fix Willis!!! It works great!
Victor Leal Garcia on
Hey.... I still didn't' received my dock... What should i do??
Willis Gomez on
For those with iPhone 5: I got the new lightning attachment from Casey website and I got a second cable.
What I did with the cable connection to be able to remove the iPhone with ONE hand is:
I shaved the side of the connection in the cable with my Dremel Rotary tool like this one http://amzn.to/Wivdh7 just enough so the little hooks of the iPhone 5 don't have a wedge to hold to it. And thats all. It Works beautifully. Hope this helps.
Michael Krilivsky on
Thanks for the response.
However, this was not noted when buying the connector. And even though you're working on it, it doesn't solve the issue of me paying $120 total for something that I can't really use. Having raised $1.4 mil, do you think you can spare a refund for the device and iphone 5 connector ($100 total) that I bought from you? I'll eat the $20 for the extra iphone cable I had to buy that you guys didn't supply me with.
Of course, if you had a solution ready and I had to wait a week or 2 or even a month, I would be fine with that, but it doesn't sound like this one is going to be solved anytime soon.
Let me know

Education in Florida will see some drastic changes in the near future.
Editor's note: This is the final part of a two-day look at the sweeping education bill signed this past week by Gov. Rick Scott. Today's story looks at the impact on public schools.
Education in Florida will see some drastic changes in the near future.
A landmark bill signed on April 22 by Gov. Rick Scott seeks to restructure and improve the state's education system and affects every grade level from kindergarten through college.
Of particular interest in Alachua County, the bill will alleviate some of the pressure that was placed on high school students in 2010 when more difficult graduation requirements were established.
Under Senate Bill 1076, students still must meet academic requirements in English, math, science and social studies courses but the level of study would differ based on the diploma for which the student is aiming.
Students can earn a "standard'' diploma by taking Algebra I and biology. Those who take and pass more advanced courses such as Algebra 2 and physics or chemistry can earn a "scholar" diploma.
Students can earn a "merit" diploma by achieving industry certifications through technical programs in lieu of traditional math, science and English courses, although they would still have to pass Algebra 1.
The bill also calls on school districts to work with local industry to determine workforce needs and to put a renewed emphasis on digital skills and online education. A provision for establishing a "financial literacy" program was tacked onto requirements for social studies programs.
Alachua County School Board chairwoman Eileen Roy said that, although the state hasn't made clear its plan for implementing the different diploma tracks, she's glad there will be a technical option.
"The new graduation requirements (prior to SB 1076) assume that every person that graduates from high school is going to college," she said, which creates the potential for a significantly higher dropout rate. Not every student will be able to pass the more advanced end-of-course exams, she said.
There is already an emphasis on career and technical training in the Alachua County school district.
Six of the seven public high schools operated by Alachua County Public Schools have career/technical academies in place. There are a total of 11 academies in the district, and all are open by application to students in any zone.
Most of the academies are housed inside traditional high schools. Santa Fe High School has a biotechnology academy and an agriscience academy; Gainesville High School offers a health sciences academy; Buchholz High School has a dual finance and entrepreneurship academy; Eastside High School has a culinary arts academy; and Newberry High School features a criminal justice academy.
Although students get hands-on training in each field, not every career/technical magnet at those schools offers industry certifications.
Dave Edwards, director of career/technical education for Alachua County Public Schools, said he wasn't sure how much the new law would open up more opportunities for certification.
"I would think it would have the possibility of being able to really expand career and tech ed depending on the demand," but it's difficult for any school district to create new programs without the state allocating extra money, he said.
Industry certifications must be administered by an agency outside the school system, such as the Red Cross or the Department of Children and Families.
Another obstacle to expanding certification options would be persuading those agencies to work with the schools.
"You're asking some other group to take on something without them knowing if that's going to be a profitable venture for them," he said.
The Professional Academies Magnet at Loften High School houses the four remaining career and technical programs in the district: fire and emergency services, design and technology, early childhood education and automotive.
Students can be certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence or the Department of Children and Families, or become certified as a first responder or to use Adobe software professionally.
Loften Principal Chet Sanders said he's glad the state has decided to abandon the one-size-fits-all graduation requirements established in 2010. There's a huge need in the workforce for technical training, he said.
Sanders said he hopes the different diploma tracks will demonstrate to parents that there are viable options for postsecondary education other than a traditional four-year university. His students often go on to two-year programs and technical schools, and focusing on those goals while still in high school helps them plan ahead, he said.
"That can be just as valuable a track for a student as a four-year university track," he said.
Regardless of what they choose to do after high school, students who enroll in career/technical programs tend to finish strong, said Alachua County Public Schools spokeswoman Jackie Johnson.
During the 2011-12 school year, Alachua County high school students earned 216 industry certifications and a total of 1,658 credit hours at Santa Fe College.
Also during that year, the graduation rate for Alachua County students who took at least three career/technical courses during high school was 93 percent. The overall graduation rate for the county was 78 percent.
Nearly 86 percent of the students who took three or more career/technical courses went on to college, technical training or a job.
"Obviously students in those career/technical programs do very well," Johnson said. "It makes them so much more employable right out of high school."

'The unbelievably bogus debt ceiling debate'
Exclusive: Jerry Robinson and the politics of credit
Economist, columnist, radio host and international conference speaker Jerry Robinson says on his Follow the Money Weekly program this week the Washington fight that is brewing over the debt ceiling is "unbelievably bogus."
"I guess I have finally had it with the media driving the nation into perpetual crisis mode. Not that America shouldn't be in crisis mode, mind you. It's just that when the media is the one telling you what to panic about, they are almost always wrong," he said.
He addresses the issue on the latest podcast of his program.
"In segment one, I lay out my incredulous response to the unbelievably bogus and disingenuous debt ceiling debate… Those heavily entrenched in the right-left paradigm, may want to skip this segment," he said.
In a commentary on the issue, he said, "Now that Washington has passed trillions of dollars of new spending bills, it's time to decide whether to pay for those items."
Then Tom Cloud joins the program to offer an update on the precious metals market.
"Tom and I talk about the debt ceiling debate and its impact on gold. We also talk about Germany's gold repatriation – along with an outlook on silver, platinum, and palladium," Robinson said.
For a weekly investing tip, Jay Peroni comes to the microphone and discuss just what pays a 4.2 percent dividend, and has been rising in price.
John Bearss also offers some counsel on retirement income.

Say: greev-ing
If you've ever been really sad, you might have been grieving. You may grieve because your dog died or because you had to say good-bye to someone you loved a lot. Grieving is OK, though, because it means that you really cared about something. And after a while, you should be ready to feel happy again.

Retail sales in the U.S. unexpectedly rose in April reflecting broad-based gains that may ease concern consumers are holding back.
The 0.1% increase followed a 0.5% drop in March, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 81 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.3% drop. The figures used to calculate growth, which exclude categories such as automobiles, also advanced.
The figures may prompt economists to forecast spending this quarter will cool less than previously projected as Americans overcome the January increase in the payroll tax. Lower fuel costs combined with rising stock and home values also are helping boost buying power, which will help underpin purchases as the labor market mends.
"Consumers are staying active and providing support to the economy," said Michael Moran, chief economist at Daiwa Capital Markets America Inc. in New York, who correctly forecast the increase in sales. "We will see a slowdown this quarter, but it won't be dramatic. There will be some damping of spending due to the payroll tax, but it will be mild."
Stock-index futures trimmed earlier losses after the report. The contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index maturing in June fell 0.2% to 1,627 at 8:50 a.m. in New York. It had been down as much as 0.5% earlier in the day.
Survey Results
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from a drop of 0.9% to a 0.7% gain. The reading for March was revised from an initially reported decline of 0.4%.
Nine of 13 major categories showed gains last month, led by a 1.2% advance at clothing stores, the biggest in more than a year. Receipts at general merchandise outlets, which include department stores, climbed 1%, the most since March 2012.
Sales at automobile dealers also improved, which is at odds with the industry data that came out earlier this month.
Cars and light trucks sold at a 14.9 million annual pace in April, down from a 15.2 million rate the prior month, according to data from Ward's Automotive Group. The average for the first quarter was 15.3 million, the strongest since the same period in 2008 and a sign the longer-term outlook remains positive.
Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC said sales increased in April from the same month last year.
"Low borrowing costs and rising consumer wealth should continue to support spending growth going forward," Jenny Lin, Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford's senior U.S. economist, said on a May 1 conference call.

Genzyme is a leading biotechnology firm focused primarily on developing drugs for rare diseases and chronic illnesses.Since 1981, the company has grown from a small start-up to a diversified business with more than 12,000 employees in locations spanning the globe and 2009 revenues of $4.5 billion.[1] The company's products and services are focused on rare inherited disorders, kidney disease, orthopaedics, cancer, transplant and immune disease, and diagnostic testing.[1]
Genzyme's continued success relies on its ability to continue to dominate specialized, rare disease markets that have small patient populations, as well as its ability to expand market share for existing drugs. Genzyme's recent acquisition spree has brought it a number of new products that exhibit growth potential, but its market share must continue to grow steadily to allow for Genzyme's continued success. Genzyme faces similar obstacles to most other biotechnology firms, including concentrated risk in a small number of products, FDA regulation and approval, Medicare reimbursement levels, and litigation. Genzyme has a diverse product pipeline with twenty drugs in clinical trials and the company's long-term success depends on their ability to develop effective drugs, get FDA approval for these drugs, and bring these drugs to market. Additionally, any changes to Medicare reimbursement plan could adversely affect Genzyme's revenue if clinics and doctors become less willing to use Genzyme's products due to reduced reimbursement rates.
Genzyme, Inc. (NASDAQ: GENZ) is a leading biotechnology firm that focuses on developing treatments for rare diseases and chronic illnesses. The company's products are categorized in the following four categories:
First Quarter 2010 Summary
Genzyme reported revenues of $1.07 billion, compared to $1.15 billion in the same period last year.[1] The company reported a net loss for the quarter of $114.9 million, compared to net income of $195.5 million in the first quarter of 2009.[1] Genzyme's decline in revenue is the result of limited shipments of Cerezyme and Fabrazyme due to product supply constraints.The sharp decline in net income is the result of a $175 million expense associated with the consent decree for the company's Allston manufacturing facility.[1] Genzyme received a draft consent decree from the FDA regarding its Allston manufacturing plant. The draft provides for an up-front disgorgement of past profits of $175 million.[1]
Within the Personalized Genetic Health segment (previously called Genetic Diseases) first-quarter sales of Myozyme increased 28 percent to $86.1 million from $67.4 million in the same period in 2009. First-quarter revenue was down from fourth-quarter 2009 sales, reflecting an $8 million shipment that was delayed for a release hold at the end of the first quarter.
New patients continued to begin treatment with Myozyme during the first quarter. Expansion is ongoing worldwide, and Genzyme plans new regulatory filings in more than 15 countries during 2010.
Genzyme in December reopened enrollment in the Alglucosidase Alfa Temporary Access Program (ATAP), a U.S. program which provides access to treatment for severely affected adults with Pompe disease prior to commercial approval of Lumizyme. The ATAP program will remain active until commercial approval of Lumizyme. Genzyme is currently providing therapy free of charge to more than 200 patients in the United States.
First-quarter sales of Cerezyme were $179.1 million compared with $296.0 million in the first quarter of last year. Cerezyme revenue increased 70 percent from $105.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, reflecting the resumption of product shipments to patients in approximately 100 countries. Sales of Fabrazyme in the first quarter were $53.2 million, compared with $122.2 million in the same period last year.
Within the Biosurgery segment, sales of Synvisc increased 26 percent to $79.5 million from $63.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. This growth was driven by Synvisc-One, which was launched in the United States in March 2009 and is the only single-injection viscosupplement approved for the treatment of osteoarthritis knee pain. First-quarter 2010 sales were down from $95.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, reflecting the annual seasonality trend in the viscosupplement market, in which sales typically decline in the first quarter, and peak during the second quarter.
Sales of Sepra products grew 8 percent to $37.2 million, from $34.3 million in the same period last year, with growth driven by increasing use of the Seprafilm adhesion barrier in C-section and other gynecologic procedures.
Within this segment, sales of Genzyme's sevelamer therapies, Renvela and Renagel, were $164.6 million, compared with $170.6 million during the first quarter of 2009. While sevelamer volume grew by 4 percent year over year, Renagel pricing in Brazil and conversion to Renvela in the United States resulted in a decrease in revenue. Genzyme last year lowered the price of Renagel in Brazil to compete with generics marketed in that country. Genzyme had raised the price of Renagel in the United States last year to encourage conversion to Renvela, and revenue reflects the increasing percentage of Renvela sales within total U.S. sevelamer revenue. The U.S. market share for sevelamer grew during the first quarter and is currently 51 percent.
The ongoing launch of Renvela in Europe continues to progress well, with launches in the key markets of France, Spain, Italy and the U.K. planned in the coming months. The U.S. launch of the powder formulation of Renvela is also exceeding expectations.
Sales of Thyrogen increased 18 percent to $45.6 million from $38.8 million in the first quarter of 2009, driven by increased utilization of the treatment in thyroid remnant ablation procedures.
Within this segment, revenue from Mozobil grew 75 percent to $18.9 million from $10.8 million in the first quarter last year. Mozobil was launched in the United States in January 2009 and in Europe in August 2009, and additional worldwide launches are ongoing. First-quarter growth in this segment was also driven by sales of Clolar, which increased 36 percent to $24.7 million from $18.2 million in the same period a year ago, with significant volume growth seen in all major markets.
Sales of Thymoglobulin, were $52.9 million, compared with $50.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, due primarily to increased sales in Asia.
Results from several clinical trials have been submitted for presentation at the June American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting, including results of a phase 3 trial of Leukine in melanoma, Leukine data in prostate cancer, and Clolar data in myelodysplastic syndromes, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia.
Genzyme's risks are similar to those encountered by most biotechnology firms: majority of revenue concentrated in one or two main products, FDA approval, medical litigation, and over-aggressive acquisition and integration of other companies.
Genzyme faces $175 million in fines imposed by the FDA due to its unsatisfactory manufacturing facilities. The company came under fire from the FDA when an inspection of an Allston, Massachusetts, facility from Oct. 8, 2009 to Nov. 13, 2009 found quality control lacking, as many medically necessary products were found contaminated by metal, rubber, and glass particles as well as a viral contamination via a bioreactor which produced bulk drug quantities. The inadequate conditions of facilities also resulted in drug shortages -- which were compounded when Genzyme temporarily suspended manufacturing due to the quality control issues. As of May 2010, Genyzme was shipping its flagship product Cerezyme at 50% of demand and its product Fabrazyme at 30% of demand. Genzyme manufactures the Gaucher's disease drug imiglucerase (Cerezyme), the Fabry disease drug agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme), the thyroid cancer diagnostic thyrotropin alfa (Thyrogen), and the Pompe disease drug alglucosidase alfa (Myozyme) in the affected facility. Genzyme is the only supplier of a number of these enzyme replacement drugs. A consent decree signed with the FDA places Genzyme under a strict timetable in which to shape up its manufacturing facility.
As the sole provider of several drugs for rare genetic diseases, Genzyme is under intense pressure to maintain high quality control standards and maintain a steady supply of drugs to its patients.
Genzyme has an impressive stable of diverse products, but together, Cerezyme and Renagel account for more than 50% of the company's revenue. Because of the small patient pool and possible alternative treatments, both of these drugs are vulnerable to competition, however their proven efficacy makes them more stable fixtures and they will prove difficult to displace unless a competing treatment is discovered to be significantly more effective.
As with all medicines in the United States, Genzyme's products are subject to FDA approval and regulation. FDA approval requires tremendous research and at least three large clinical trials that prove the drug's safety and success rates. Because Genzyme's products are used across the globe, its drugs are also subject to the regulatory and approval processes of other countries' drug regulation departments.
===Medicare Reimbursement=== cenira wuz here Because most of the patients who use Genzyme's treatments are eligible for Medicare, Genzyme's revenue is vulnerable to changes in Medicare reimbursement rates. Any reimbursement rate change would have a direct impact on Genzyme's revenue. Indirectly, rate changes may also cause doctors and clinics to be less willing to use Genzyme's products at the current market price for these products.
Despite the FDA's stringent regulations, there is always the risk of unforeseen side effects that don't become apparent until after the drug has come to market. Depending on the severity of the side effects, affected patients could potentially pursue medical litigation against Genzyme.
Since May 2004, Genzyme has acquired nine other specialized biotechnology firms that have greatly contributed to the Genzyme product pipeline. The risk of an aggressive acquisition policy is that Genzyme may fail to optimize new profit opportunities and lose focus on its core products
Because of Genzyme's diverse product pipeline, multiple companies compete with Genzyme. The landscape of competitors shifts quickly due to constant innovations and discoveries in biotechnology. Shire PLC and Amicus Therapeutics are Genzyme's primary competitors in rare disease markets. Shire has products to treat Fabry's Disease and Gaucher's Disease, two of Genzyme's key markets. While neither of Shire's drugs are currently available in the United States and would need to undergo head-to-head trials with Genzyme's products before coming to market, Shire's drugs are potential competitors because of the small patient pool targeted by these treatments. Comparable in size to both Shire and Genzyme, Biogen Idec produces Avonex, the leading Multiple Sclerosis drug in the U.S. Should Genzyme's Alemtuzumab MS treatment come to market, Avonex will be its primary competition.
Shire, Biogen, and Genzyme are similar in market capitalization and revenue. Genzyme's products also compete with biotech giants Abbott Laboratories and Amgen in larger patient markets. Both Abbott Labs and Amgen have products in the renal, orthopaedic, and diagnostic sectors, and while their products are not yet in direct competition with Genzyme, their larger financial resources allow them the flexibility to quickly commercialize lucrative products.
Amicus Therapeutics, a small, privately-held biotech firm, is currently developing three drugs that would directly compete with Genzyme's main products. Amicus has products in phase II trials targeting both Fabry and Gaucher disease. Their third drug, meant to treat Pompe disease, is in pre-clinical trials. While none of its drugs are ready for the market, Amicus's focus on these three niche markets could make them a serious competitor in the future.
Many of Genzyme's products are so effective and specialized that generic drug companies are expected to stay away from Genzyme's smaller markets; additionally, Genzyme's earliest patent expirations won't occur until 2010.

Teen severely injured after being pinned by car, police say
Teen severely injured after being pinned by car, police say
Police are searching for a teen who they said severely injured another teen by pinning him with his car at a party in Oklahoma City on Saturday night.
Investigators said the incident began when a teen was asked to leave a party near S.W. 74th Street and Council Road about midnight Saturday.
Police said the teen got into a car and attempted to run over a group of kids, but missed. The teen then put the car in reverse and pinned a 16-year-old boy up against another car, breaking his legs in several places, according to police.
Investigators said they were searching for the driver of a dark-colored 2000 or 2001 Crown Victoria.

BREAKING GROUND; The Cliffs at Keowee Springs
By NICK KAYE
Published: November 21, 2008
WHAT Lakeside golf resort community.
WHERE Six Mile, S.C., about a 45-minute drive west of Greenville.
AMENITIES A golf course and a spa, among others.
PRICES Homesites start at $250,000 and houses start at $700,000.
STATUS The golf course opened in September. So far 24 houses have been completed, and more are under construction.
DEVELOPER The Cliffs Communities.
CONTACT (866) 435-5127 or www.discoverkeoweesprings.com.
DETAILS The Cliffs constellation of golf communities dates back to 1991, when its first property was founded on Glassy Mountain in Landrum, S.C. One of the newest parts of the collection -- now made up of eight developments spread around the western ends of North and South Carolina -- is the Cliffs at Keowee Springs, which shares the shores of the 18,500-acre Lake Keowee with two other Cliffs developments. The 1,600-acre site has space for 458 houses in neighborhoods adjacent to the 18-hole, Tom Fazio-designed golf course; there are also plans for a spa resort that is scheduled to open in 2010. A purchaser can buy a site and build on it independently or can have the developer construct a predesigned house. A rental program will be available. The house designs, from 2,800 to 4,800 square feet, include details like stone fireplaces, covered terraces and wine cellars. Also planned are a golf learning center expected to open in January, a marina, a beach club, miles of hiking and biking trails, and a wellness center with a fitness area and a pool. Club membership, required for access to the golf and other amenities, is $150,000, with $650 in monthly dues. With that membership comes access to the other nearby Cliffs developments, which have courses completed or in the works by Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, as well as to Cliffs outposts in Chile and British Columbia.
Breaking Ground is a weekly look at projects, planned or under construction, that include weekend or vacation homes.

A motion-activated wildlife surveillance camera has captured what one expert calls the first documented sighting of a North American river otter in Boulder in about 100 years.
"I was extremely surprised," said Christian Nunes, a wildlife ecology technician for Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. "It's a species that is quite rare in Colorado."
A member of the same family as weasels, the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) is classified as "endangered" by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, but that could soon change -- in the otters' favor.
But, first, about those pictures.
Nunes said the camera was set up Feb. 1 along Boulder Creek, east of the city's developed core, near a beaver lodge, where "a ramp" from the water already had been established through prior use by beavers, raccoons, mink "and the occasional stray dog."
The camera was equipped, Nunes said, with an infrared flash, which emits a blinking red light, rather than a conventional flash effect.
Nunes said the camera so far has captured an otter twice, both times at night -- fittingly, for this nocturnal animal. The first occasion was Feb. 26, and the second was March 7. It is images from the March 7 sighting, in which the animal was enjoying a meal of freshly caught white sucker, that the city has made available.
"It actually sat in front of the camera for several more minutes, sitting there munching on the fishtail," Nunes said. "Kinda cute."
Driven out
Once more easily found along Colorado's Front Range, the northern river otter largely had been extirpated -- driven to a localized extinction -- by the late 1800s or early 1900s, through hunting and mining pollution, Nunes said.
However, Colorado Parks and Wildlife launched an otter reintroduction program in the 1970s, restoring populations in several river drainages, including the Upper Colorado, the Dolores and the upper South Platte rivers.
Eric Odell, a state Parks and Wildlife species conservation program manager for carnivores, said the reintroduction was more focused -- and, apparently, more successful -- on the state's Western Slope.
A survey of the otters' numbers in the state in 2002 resulted in its status being upgraded from endangered to threatened. That is a status it shares among Colorado mammals with the Preble's meadow jumping mouse.
"We don't really have population estimates (for otters) anywhere in the state," Odell said. "But they certainly didn't take on the Front Range as well as they did on the Western Slope. They are pretty well-distributed on the river drainages on the Western Slope."
Odell added that his office gets many undocumented otter reports from the Front Range, "but they turn out to be muskrat, mink or beaver." To see a confirmed report of a river otter on the Front Range, he said, "is pretty exciting."
'Starting to spread out'
Parks and Wildlife is planning the first state survey of river otters since 2002 on the Western Slope later this year -- water levels and flows permitting, Odell said.
Depending on the results, Odell said, the state could further upgrade the animals' status, moving to "de-list" the river otter and take away its endangered status.
Nunes said he previously had heard anecdotal reports of otters in the Boulder area, including one from a friend who recently claimed to have tracked one in Boulder Canyon for six miles.
"They have been seen in Rocky Mountain National Park for a couple of decades, so they're doing well there, and they're starting to spread out," Nunes said. "We are extremely excited to have them back on our property."

(CNN) -- Paul Bailey shares his London home with two strangers, Alejandro and Fernando.
More than a million people in the British capital now live in flatshares. And while this kind of living arrangement used to be associated with students and youthful television sitcoms, more and more mature people find themselves living with strangers.
Like Bailey, who is 43.
"What we are seeing now more than ever is an increase in the amount of people over 40 looking for flatshares," Matt Hutchkinson from flatmate-finding service Spareroom said.
"At the moment, one in eight people in flatshares is over 40 and that's a real shift from three to
four years ago," he says.
Bailey was forced to find flatmates after separating from his partner of 15 years.
"It was a fleeting thought that 'oh my god' I'm going to have to do it again. I'm 43 years old," he said. "The last time I lived with someone was in my 20s -- how is this going to work?"
With rents in London reaching the double of the national average, sharing is often the only option.
UK Census figures show that 15% of people living in London share their homes with people they are not related to.
In the U.S., the numbers are also rising. The number of shared households involving flatmates who are neither related to each other nor a couple grew by one fifth in the decade between 2000 and 2010, according to the U.S. census.
In New York City alone, the number of flats shared by strangers reached 200,000 in 2011.
Websites helping people find their ideal flatmates, such as Spareroom, Flatshare and Roombuddies are booming. Spareroom says it saw a 20% increase in the number of people looking for roommates in January compared to last year.
In New York City, 2,500 room offers in shared properties were posted on advertising site Craigslist in the first four days of April.
As for Paul Bailey, he seems to be happy with his new living arrangements.
"It's been three, four months and it's been brilliant. I come home and see the little light on and go 'yay', I've got someone at home, I have someone to talk to," he said.

Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons' TV catchphrase has inspired biologists to rename a new bee species.
Brazilian researchers have used TV physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper's 'Bazinga!' as the premise for their latest discovery.
The Euglossa bazinga bee is closely related to the West Brazilian orchid bee.
Big Bang Theory producer Steven Molaro has yet to share the news with Parsons, but he says, "We are always extremely flattered when the science community embraces our show. Sheldon would be honored to know that Euglossa bazinga was inspired by him."

SIngle origin chocolate without the single origin cost. The Callebaut 'Brazil' was very tasty dark chocolate and extremely good value for the 2.5kg size. It really added a zesty touch to the chocolate flapjacks I dipped into it. The bag had a re-sealing top which should keep any unused cooking chocolate fresh.

Gas price decrease may increase travel
A drop in gasoline prices since spring may be the spark North Carolina motorists need to travel during the Christmas holiday.
AAA Carolinas says 2.4 million motorists are expected to drive 50 miles or more during the holiday travel period beginning Friday and lasting through Jan. 2.
Since May 6, gasoline prices in North Carolina have dropped 64 cents. The average price statewide is the cheapest since it hit $3.14 a gallon in early February, and the lowest since peaking at nearly $3.88 on May 6.
The motor club also says gas prices in North Carolina are averaging 13 cents less than before Thanksgiving. Prices are expected to remain stable or slightly decrease due to a decline in demand and the congressional budget impasse.
